MAJOR fears have been expressed by SNP MSPs about the “financial wraparound” of their own government’s National Care Service (NCS) Bill, as the policy was described as a “sledgehammer to crack a nut”.
The Scottish Parliament’s Finance Committee tore into government officials on Tuesday morning during a debate over the financial memorandum as they criticised a lack of clarity within it.
Legislation to establish an NCS was published earlier this year, but ministers have stressed it is only a “framework”.
